'The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day' (ALL) Free On Xbox Live And PSN

The Walking Dead is an epic drama where personal trials are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment survival. As a zombie epidemic of apocalyptic proportions sweeps the globe, the dead are rising to feed on the living.

Based on Robert Kirkman’s groundbreaking comic book series, The Walking Dead is a five part episodic Adventure Horror game series set during the same apocalyptic period witnessed by Sheriff Rick Grimes. Telling the story of a new group of survivors as they struggle to flee the horror of Atlanta and the surrounding communities consumed by the undead, The Walking Dead offers players the chance to experience the very first days of the apocalypse, meeting people and participating in events that intersect with the story seen in the comic books.

Playing Dead is an online talk show that takes fans behind the scenes to reveal what has gone into making the game. Hosted by AJ LoCascio (the voice of Marty McFly in Telltale’s Back to the Future: The Game series), the nine-part show will feature guests including The Walking Dead creator/writer Robert Kirkman and Gary Whitta, screenwriter for TheBook of Eli and story consultant for the game.

Whether players want to catch up on The Walking Dead for the first time, revisit the series on another platform, or perhaps share the experience with friends and family, it's never been easier to do so.

Episode 1: A New Day, Season One's first chapter of Lee and Clementine's story, is now FREE on Xbox Live Arcade (worldwide) and PlayStation Network (North America).

The Walking Dead Season Pass on PlayStation Network (North America), which covers all 5 episodes in the Season One journey, has also dropped to just $14.99 USD.
